WALT DISNEY RECORDS RELEASES THE LEGACY COLLECTION BOX SET

AWARD-WINNING DISNEY FILM SOUNDTRACKS COMBINE IN A 12-ALBUM BOX SET

BURBANK, CA – November 13, 2015 – One of this year’s most acclaimed series of special edition albums, Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection, is now available. The long-awaited, 12-album, 28-disc collectors’ box gift set celebrates the anniversaries of Disney’s most cherished and classic films that have been enchanting audiences for generations.

This CD series combines great songs, background scores and rare recordings from over a half-century of animation classics–plus music from Disneyland® Park. In addition to remastered tracks, each album in Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection Box Set comes in its own hardcover book, filled with art treasures, exclusive essays, and new illustrations by Lorelay Bové, a visual development artist at Walt Disney Animation Studios (“Tangled”, “Winnie the Pooh”, “Wreck-It Ralph”). Bove was recently named one of ‘10 Animators to Watch’ by Variety (March 3, 2015) and her art can be seen in the hardcover book, Lovely: Ladies of Animation: The Art of Lorelay Bove, Brittney Lee, Claire Keane, Lisa Keene, Victoria Ying and Helen Chen.

Designed for display, all 12 albums are presented in a specially fitted collectors’ slipcase. The 28-disc Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection Box Set contains over 130 songs; 270 instrumentals; 75 “Lost Chords” deleted songs and demos; and much more–totaling over 25 hours of matchless entertainment for all ages.
